The D stands for Disappointment

Ooh! Ty for reminding me that (at least I. Cambridge), TK Maxx has Hallowe’en stuff in 😁

Boss. I'm tired boss. We been doing these experiments and studies since the 60s and 70s and the outcome has been the same in them all.

The pushback against these measures aren't because they don't work. It's because they DO work and they'll include peoples they wish to exclude from society.

clowntv on tumblr: "when i was in middle school our teachers told us that you can't "make up" hours Of sleep after not getting enough, and i thought that meant that if i didnt get enough sleep one night i would be tired for the rest of my life. and then i was" posted over a stock image of a bed.

I told this to the mathematicians on campus today and the conversation has moved on to battery-powered sperm.

Ooh, I saw that & thought “Is that a Simon Medlock?” Nice to see he’s still going.

I have a longstanding crack in the plaster in my living room & bedroom that is getting worse. My garage is crumbling. The “How Clean Is Your House” ladies would double bag themselves in hazmat suits before coming in.

Plus (gesturing at the world in general) ~all this~.

For anyone rubbernecking the car crash of my life, my “Justify your illnesses and hope we, insurance people with no relevant training, believe you” forms are now twice a year instead of annual. ADHD meds barely touch the sides and I’m not being given the chance to try a different one.

“Sensitive to small perturbations.” Ha.

Hoo boy I am having a Time right now. To borrow a term from maths, I am (was) metastable: I seemed broadly ok for a while, started to think things were improving, then was presented with one (one!) additional important task and have plummeted like an upside down pyramid pushed off a mountain.

@brainmage.bsky.social and associated goblins might be interested

an image that resulted from me searching "bee butts sticking out of flowers" it is a collage of 4 pictures of bee butts sticking out of flowers

sometimes when things are particularly dismal I like to search for "bee butts sticking out of flowers"

it doesn't fix my problems but it makes me forget about them for a couple minutes, and that's a win!

Nearly everyone knows the Heimlich Manoeuvre, as a general idea if not exactly how to do it. I want to know what an Unheimlich Manoeuvre is.

Oh she’s got so big!

My RAADS-R results. Total is 166, of which 72 is social. I have problems with the way about half the questions were worded.

My masking score. Total is 161, pretty equally spread between compensation, masking, and assimilation. Do not @ me, statisticians. Do not assimilate me, Borg.

I very nearly yelled at my phone.
1st is RAADS-R, 2nd is masking (from Embrace Autism).

Woke up early with sinuses full of cement. Overwhelmed by Stuff. Can’t do anything about any of it. Can’t stop worrying either cos it’s all important.

I want to hide under the duvet for a week while someone fixes everything for me. But alas.

Finished Mr. Bobby's prototype

I'll list preorders for a couple of these later tonight on my Etsy

@brainmage.bsky.social can beat a Sonic level with his feet, and blindfolded.

Can Sonic do the same with a cryptic crossword?

EVERYBODY BE COOL! THIS IS OUROBORY!

Oh to be small and urchin-like enough that “half a beer” is a reasonable quantity!

Yeah, I get that. I’ve been trying to have at least one day off over the weekend and have lots of naps then. Those days suck but it seemed more sensible than pushing through and risking a total collapse.

We are experiencing higher than normal call volumes. Your call is important to us. Please continue to hold.

I’m wary about making a switch to lisdex cos I’m also on antidepressants and serotonin syndrome would not be good (also I’d have had to change 2 weeks ago and hadn’t added in the 18mg at that point). It’s tempting though.

Omg! Sorry for jumping in but this is absolutely my still-in-titration experience. I feel that any improvement in functionality for me is down to the chronic fatigue being pacified; I’m still easily distracted, despite being on a 54+18mg dose.

A friend frequently says “integer” with a hard g specifically to wind me up. (Their regular username is also an autocarrot that I sent them once.) I love them for it 😍
